Erica Peitler’s prowess in the pharmaceutical industry led her to become a successful leadership coach.
Erica Peitler was a bit of a wonder drug for the pharmaceutical industry. “Captivated by how drugs work,” Peitler began her career as a pharmacist before transitioning to marketing and brand management roles at several pharmaceutical giants. While she seamlessly ran multimillion-dollar divisions, Peitler was especially known for her ability as a transformational change agent.
She was the one to bring in when a company or division was veering off course.
It’s fitting that helping companies and employees turn things around is what she did best, since eight years ago Peitler turned that microscope on herself. She took a step back from her powerful pharmaceutical career, took a year off to detox from the corporate world and filled it with everything from a soul-searching trip to Costa Rica to an academic stint at Harvard. She came away with a sharpened focus on what she wanted her next chapter to look like. “Just like I was captivated by how drugs work, I was equally fascinated by how leadership works. I think it’s why I went into business (and not research) in the first place,” she says.
She rewrote her career plan and was certified as a leadership performance coach. It’s been eight years, but she’s never looked back once. Today, Peitler is a sought-after speaker, two-time author with a brand-new book: Leadership Rigor! Breakthrough Performance & Productivity Leading Yourself, Teams & Organizations (available through Amazon) and a leadership coach hired by Fortune 500 CEOs. “I’m so lucky to be able to do this,” she says. “It’s a very rewarding career.”
